The Principality of Leiningen (German: Fürstentum Leiningen) was a short-lived principality, which emerged in 1803 in the course of secularization and was created especially for a line of the nobility of the House of Leiningen. It lay for the most part in today's Baden-Wuerttemberg and for the smaller part in today's Bavaria.
